About 30 amp PDUs

Read the heading literally: this page is a floor, not an exact match. The catalog's amperage filter is a minimum, so 30 A here means 30 A and above — the 32 A IEC 60309 units, the 48 A and 60 A strips and the high-density three-phase models are all on the page with the 30 A ones. The floor is fixed at 30 A here — the PDU selector carries the same rated-amperage control unlocked if you want to set it higher. There is no exact-rating filter, because what the catalog reads is the nameplate figure a manufacturer printed in its own title, not a bucket somebody assigned afterwards. A 30 A PDU is the workhorse of a dense rack for a simple reason: at 208 V it can pass roughly 6.2 kVA, against about 3.6 kVA for the same 30 A at 120 V, so the higher-voltage circuit carries far more equipment for the same copper.

What you can actually use is less than the badge, and the gap is not optional. A continuous load may not exceed 80% of the circuit rating, which turns a 30 A PDU into a 24 A working budget — about 5 kW at 208 V, about 2.9 kW at 120 V, and per phase on a three-phase strip. Size to that number, not the nameplate. The other thing to confirm before ordering is the input: 30 A units arrive with a NEMA L5-30P at 120 V, an L6-30P at 208/240 V, an IEC 60309 connector at 30 or 32 A, or an L21-30P and similar for three-phase — and the plug has to match the whip the electrician installed, because an adapter on a 30 A circuit is not a solution. One honesty note about this page's scope: the amperage on each card is read only where the title states a nameplate rating, and it is never derived from the input plug. Measured across the rows that carry both, the plug rating disagreed with the stated nameplate about one time in five — continuous-duty derating is already baked into some of those figures — so a model that never printed its rating cannot appear on an amperage-scoped page at all.

FAQ

30 amp PDUs questions

Does this page show only 30 A PDUs?
No — it shows 30 A and above. The catalog's amperage control is a minimum rather than an exact match, so 32 A, 48 A, 60 A and larger units are all included here. This page holds that floor at 30 A; if you need a higher one, the PDU selector carries the same control unlocked. There is no exact-amperage filter anywhere: the catalog reads the nameplate figure printed in the manufacturer's own title rather than sorting units into bands.
How much equipment can a 30 A PDU actually run?
Budget 24 A, not 30 A. A continuous load is limited to 80% of the circuit rating, which works out to roughly 5 kW at 208 V and about 2.9 kW at 120 V — and on a three-phase strip that budget is per phase, so the load has to be balanced across phases rather than totalled. Size the PDU to the load you expect to be drawing in two years, not the one you are plugging in today.
What input plug does a 30 A PDU use?
It depends on voltage and phase. Common single-phase inputs are NEMA L5-30P at 120 V, NEMA L6-30P at 208 or 240 V, and IEC 60309 at 30 or 32 A; three-phase units typically use L21-30P or a five-wire 60309 connector. The plug must match the whip already installed — on a 30 A circuit an adapter is not an acceptable answer. If you are not certain what is on the wall, send a photo with your quote request.
Why do some 30 A models not appear here?
Because the amperage on each card is read only from an explicitly stated nameplate rating, and never inferred from the input plug. Measured across the rows whose titles carry both, the plug rating contradicted the stated nameplate about one time in five, so guessing from the plug would put wrong numbers on real products. A model that never printed its rating simply cannot appear on an amperage-scoped page — find it by outlet count on the PDU selector instead.

Not sure which rating you need?

Send the equipment list, the feed voltage and the plug on the wall. We size the PDU against the continuous-load limit, confirm the input matches, check stock and return a complete quote.
